  1. Calculate Rudy's rate: Calculate Rudy's rate of delivering newspapers.\newlineRudy's rate = Total newspapers delivered / Total time in minutes = 220220 newspapers / 5555 minutes = 44 newspapers per minute.
  2. Calculate Elizabeth's rate: Calculate Elizabeth's rate of delivering newspapers.\newlineElizabeth's rate = Total newspapers delivered / Total time in minutes = 135 newspapers45 minutes=3 newspapers per minute.\frac{135 \text{ newspapers}}{45 \text{ minutes}} = 3 \text{ newspapers per minute}.
  3. Compare rates of Rudy and Elizabeth: Compare the rates of Rudy and Elizabeth to determine who delivered faster.\newlineRudy's rate = 44 newspapers per minute.\newlineElizabeth's rate = 33 newspapers per minute.\newlineSince 4 > 3, Rudy delivered newspapers at a faster rate.
